Beyond Televangelism: Promote your Ministry with Video

Call it digital ministry, call it 21st-century Christianity, or call it church marketing, but video produces one thing: results. Churches like Antioch Bible Church and production companies like Cooke Pictures have made an enormous impact across America, across the world, using video. Why not you?

Learn how video will help you overcome common barriers to success in faith messaging; hear two case studies that shine a light on where video can take your church; and get answers to your questions from Phil Cooke, a leading authority on church media and communications.

Discover a hidden gem for your digital content delivery. If you’re using or considering a Content Delivery Network (CDN), you’ve probably heard of origin storage. But you may not know much about it.

Done right, CDN origin storage doesn’t take a lot of your team’s time, dramatically improves user experience, and can even save you money.

Done wrong, it can waste valuable resources, time, effort and money, only to deliver bad user experience -- and you might not even know it.

Whether you’re delivering online video, files, websites, gaming or e-commerce, this webinar can provide valuable perspective and opportunities for improvement. We will explore:

•What CDN origin storage is, and why you should care about it
•7 qualities that are revolutionizing CDN origin storage
•Just released capabilities in Limelight Origin Storage that make it a game changer for your team, your audience and your bottom line

Then we’ll open up the floor to an “Ask the Expert” session with Solutions Engineer Kyle Carpenter.

V3.0 includes wide-ranging enhancements in the areas of security, video, storage and management and control – all of which go a long way in enabling better QoE on the digital frontier in which we now live.

As the recently released Consumer Gaming Trends report makes very clear, the game experience is changing. It’s no longer just about a good storyline or how easy the game is to play. Gamers are becoming hypersensitive to other elements as the game experience expands and incorporates new content (video), bleeds into other platforms (multi-device), and is continually updated (Downloaded Content).
